*
In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah ,
and built Ramah ,
to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah .
*
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the kings house ,
and sent to Benhadad Ben-Hadad #
king of Syria ,
that dwelt at Damascus ,
saying ,
*
There is a league between me and thee ,
as there was between my father and thy father :
behold ,
I have sent thee silver and gold ;
go ,
break thy league with Baasha king of Israel Yisra #
el #,
that he may depart from me .
*
And Benhadad Ben-Hadad #
hearkened unto king Asa ,
and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel Yisra #
el #;
and they smote Ijon ,
and Dan ,
and Abelmaim #
Abel ,
and all the store cities of Naphtali .
*
And it came to pass ,
when Baasha heard it ,
that he left off building of Ramah ,
and let his work cease .
*
Then Asa the king took all Judah ;
and they carried away the stones of Ramah ,
and the timber thereof ,
wherewith Baasha was building ;
and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah .
